City veteran: Foden has set an example for young players and Guardiola is preparing for City's future

Recently, Two of City's veterans Sinclair and Vassell were interviewed by City's official website, in which they talked about City's current emphasis on young players.

Foden's current outstanding performance has been recognized by everyone, which has also made Manchester City pay more attention to the development of young players. Palmer and McCarty are undoubtedly the young players City are currently focusing on developing, Palmer signed a long contract with Manchester City last summer, and McCarty also renewed his contract with Manchester City earlier this month. McCarty is currently City's top scorer in the Under-23 squad, while Palmer scored a hat-trick in City's 5-0 win over Leicester City earlier this season.

Speaking to reporters following City's 2-0 win over Brentford last week, Sinclair and Vassell said City's current approach to young players reflected the club's positive culture.

Sinclair said: "These are all manifestations of the club's culture and they will set a good example for the players to keep them humble. Palmer had been in the first team for two minutes before boarding the bus back to the Academy, where he later scored a hat-trick in the race. They may not have thought they were going to score a goal before they went, they may just think they'll play for a few minutes at an inconsequential moment. They (Palmer and McCarty) would have that mentality, but they used their performances to show people why they were given the opportunity to play for the first team. McCarty plays a bit like Ashley Kerr, who can flash around in tight spaces and is always able to think of a dribbling line for himself before he catches the ball. It's clear that McCarty is a very talented player and he has signed a new contract with Manchester City, which is a win-win for himself and Manchester City. We can see Foden's current excellent performance, which is also a good tradition for Manchester City at present. Guardiola has said he's always wanted to do something like what Ferguson did at Manchester United to get more young players into the squad. ”

Vassell also expressed his high approval of this, believing that Palmer and McCarty's experiences set an inspiring example for City's youth system. Vassell said: "If you want to get the attention of the coach and get more opportunities on the pitch, then scoring goals is the best way to go. If you can perform like this, it means that you have a fair chance to compete. As Sinclair said, Foden's success sets a good example for young players, and he shows more young players that if they are good enough, they can get a chance to enter the first team. Guardiola is preparing for the future of the team and Foden is a role model for The city's young players at the moment. ”

In addition, Sinclair and Vassell both praised the quality of the coaches in United's youth training system, believing that McCarty and Palmer can do an excellent job of connecting the first team without the training they usually receive.

Sinclair said: "You'll see a lot of young players who are just in the first team and look a little bit blind when they play the ball. But these lads at Manchester City didn't show such a problem, they have a strong sense of space and are responsible for every shot. It's amazing to see them mature at such an age. Vassell added: "It stems from the training they have received, as a young player, you look at the players around you, that's what role models are. When you see Foden play, you think of David Silva. If you're a young player and you can train with first-team players every day, you'll think in your heart, I'm going to be as good as you are, and I want you to notice me. ”
